Bibliography

Diplomate,
American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology
If you examine the books on school
reform, there is a huge body of literature that supports the conclusions that we
present. These books are by far the most popular and highly rated by the
general public.
Reports that take the opposing view tend to use
test scores as the sole basis of their analysis. They tend to be dry,
lifeless, and unconvincing.
